In keeping with Muslim Tradition...

http://www.missionislam.com/health/circumcisionislam.html

And part of the religion of Ibrahim is circumcision.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The Prophet Ibrahim circumcised himself when he was eighty years old and he circumcised himself with an axe.” (Related by Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad.)

Ibn Abbas (r.a.) was asked “How old were you when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) died?” He replied, “At that time I had been circumcised. At that time people did not circumcise the boys till they attained the age of puberty (Baligh).” (Bukhari)

Most Fuqaha’ (Islamic Jurists) say that circumcision is obligatory upon the men and this is the opinion of Jumhur (the majority of the scholars). If it were not obligatory, then Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) would not have troubled himself at such a later stage of his life.
